<VV> noise IMHO

[Duane, Jim]

	Ah, been done here in the land of Kerry and Kennedy.  Back in
the '70's, my '65 Chevy Impala SS396 CVT and  my rustang had "thrush"
mufflers.  Stuffing with seel wool for inspection works, but the only
way for inspectors and law enforcement to prevent truly painful sound
was to enforce "stock exhaust only".  Stopped? Sure!  Forced to remove
my exhaust?  Never happened. It was within reasonable sound levels.
Police were and are reasonable people who drive cars just like us.
	A sound system is certainly another kettle of fish.  Like 400HP
at your foot, 130DB of eardrum piercing sound is at your fingertips.  I
can speed and endanger, so ticket me.  If I drive through a retirement
village at 2:00AM and disturb the peace, arrest me.

That's OK with me.

It's that mentality that leads to legislation like Massachusetts is
proposing for exhaust systems.  The idea being that if stereos can be
regulated, so can exhaust note.  After all, vehicles aren't offensive
from the factory, and since their main purpose is transportation, not
personal expression, why allow them to be modified at all?
